Hilary Duff Releases “That’s So Gay” PSA

Hilary Duff Releases “That’s So Gay” PSA

Hilary Duff loves the gays!

The Duffster, 21, has teamed up with The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) to create a campaign in which the term “that’s so gay” is used casually in an effort to help teens recognize that their anti-LGBT language is harmful. Watch the video below!

Comedian Wanda Sykes also has a PSA coming out soon about this.

I’m offended by people who are trying to censor my right to free speech! That being said, I think this video is so gay! If that offends you it’s because you’re weak and stupid. Next thing you know people are going to say, “that’s so retarded” is offensive to mentally challenged individuals. People need to grow up and get a life and quit trying to find something to complain about.

WTF. People can use the word gay however they want, seriously.. whaty the heck is this!? These celebs are just running out of worthwhile charities to make PSAs about and make us all feel inferior and **** - so theyre resorting to this? I hate PSAs, this one is the worst yet. I can say gay however I want to say gay - and I AM gay.

You’re an idiot. Just because you’re gay and you’re have come out (well have you?) doesn’t mean it isn’t offensive for others (some who haven’t even come out, easily offended or are confused). You don’t represent every gay person. People DO get offended sometimes.

hilary.. this is kinda silly

i think this is a great cause but a bad psa. she isnt being very effective.
and “thats so retarded” IS offensive to mentally challenged people. Think about where the use of it comes from. When something is stupid or lacks thought. Marginalizing other groups is not cool and just shows how ignorant you are.

Lauren @ 10/08/2008 at 4:24 pm

That’s incredibly stupid and a waste of money. There - is that better than saying it’s so gay?

# 12

Rayt @ 10/08/2008 at 4:27 pm

Regina - I don’t give a crap. If someone gets offended by misuse of a WORD that is their problem. Go cry about something worthwhile.. like people dying and whatever. Gay used to mean happy also, it’s a word that has evolved and I dont think people think to offend gay people when saying “that’s gay”. It is freedom of speech and we don’t need celebs telling us what not to say. If you find it offensive.. whatever.. take it up with whoever says it to you. But celebs making commercials like this just seems pretentious and annoying.

You people scare me, if that’s how you feel I guess it’s ok to say ****** too.

You people scare me, if that’s how you feel I guess it’s ok to say n.igg.er too.

Rayt @ 10/08/2008 at 4:35 pm

THAT word has a very detailed and upsetting background to it. Gay does not.

# 16

Antonella @ 10/08/2008 at 4:35 pm

STFU, people. Who cares about the message!?
It’s all about how pretty does Hil look at the video.

# 17

Natx3' @ 10/08/2008 at 4:49 pm

Wow this is stupid..no offense.
Plus its freedom of speech, and i dont think they can make half the teenage population stop saying it because us teens are stubborn especially when it comes to something dumb like this.

jasmine @ 10/08/2008 at 4:49 pm

how the hell is this silly it’s wrong and people do it for purpose reasons and they need to stop it’s offensive!

# 19

Bleh @ 10/08/2008 at 4:51 pm

I totally agree with : _ !
because it’s bull$h*t when people use “******” as another word for stupid because it’s NOT! Just like gay or “******” isn’t another word for stupid. It’s offensive and hurtful.

This video is pure faggotry.

I wouldn’t be pissed if people would say that’s so straight….so what’s the difference? Because they are the minority? I wanna know really what is the difference? If this phrase offends you GROW UP. If you’re gay and if offends you…why is it a big deal? No one that says it means oh only gay people do that so that’s so gay.

# 22

shell @ 10/08/2008 at 5:18 pm

Oh not to mention this world has become to ‘politically’ correct….before you know it we won’t be able to say anything at all.

Hillary Duff and her career are so gay.

HA HA HA HA HA

It was wonderful and I agree with the message. The amount of times teenagers use that on a daily basis is terrible, and extremely offensive. Those who said they can say whatever they want, f*** you. It’s called respect.

Alex @ 10/08/2008 at 5:43 pm

I LOVE U HILARY!!!! Your so amazing and caring

josh @ 10/08/2008 at 5:43 pm

no one is saying that you’re not allowed to say the word; she’s trying to bring awareness to how it makes some people feel. you’re free to make up your own mind as whether it’s use is an important enough part of your lexicon.

just as you’ve the right to say whatever you’d like, she and anyone who overhears your conversation has the right to respond. everyone on both sides can calm down.

jordan @ 10/08/2008 at 5:45 pm

lame video. it will backfire. (obviously by the comments here alone it already has.) too much hypocrisy about it.

# 29

qwerty @ 10/08/2008 at 5:45 pm

Look, they are not in any way trying to censor your right to free speach. Trust me, my course study right now is solely focused around the First Amendment. Read The Sledding Hill by Chris Crutcher. It deals directly with censorship and the First Amendment. All that Hilary is suggesting is that she not say “That is so gay.” Really, by saying she cannot say that, YOU are violating HER freedom to speech and expression. I think that it was wonderful of Hilary Duff to step out and say that. It takes real gutts to make that move, especially when the right move isn’t popular. You know that saying, “The popular route isn’t always right, but the right route isn’t always popular?.” You go Hilary!

you people are ignorant if you don’t think using the word gay is offensive. just because you don’t have feelings, doesn’t mean other people don’t. our world is only getting worse because of people like you. hilary is trying to make a difference. power to hilary!
